Hi,
I am a developer with the enlightenment project (http://enlightenment.org). We have just recently released the 1.0 version of our libraries, known as the EFL, and are now attempting to find people on various distros to help spread the word. Currently, we have packagers working on Arch, Debian, Gentoo, Ubuntu (debian), and a number of others, and we would like to add Fedora to this list!
Within our community, we have people who work on .spec files already, and such files already exist for all the libraries that we would like to see in Fedora. The spec files are in the toplevel directory of each project, and I will link them here for easy viewing:
https://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/tags/ecore-1.0.0/ecore.spec.in https://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/tags/e_dbus-1.0.0/e_dbus.spec.in https://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/tags/edje-1.0.0/edje.spec.in https://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/tags/eet-1.4.0/eet.spec.in https://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/tags/eeze-1.0.1/eeze.spec.in https://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/tags/efreet-1.0.0/efreet.spec.in https://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/tags/eina-1.0.0/eina.spec.in https://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/tags/embryo-1.0.0/embryo.spec.in https://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/tags/evas-1.0.0/evas.spec.in
There is one minor cleanup that must be made on our end in the ecore spec to use c-ares, but other than that they should work fine. Obviously they may not meet your QA regulations, so changes will be made where necessary.
Note that this is NOT E17. These are only the underlying libraries which have been in development for the last 10 years and have recently reached 1.0.
I am hopeful that this mail will interest some of the developers on the list :) You can either reply directly to this email or come to #edevelop on Freenode to talk to us in realtime.
Thanks!

I'll note that those libs are already in Fedora, but they need a new maintainer. Who should probably work with you and other distributions to clean up the spec files. We have some recent changes guidelines (no need for %clean section, use of %global instead of %define for example) and I am not sure if other rpm distros do the same at this time. It would be nice to have the same spec in all distributions though :-)
Good luck finding a new maintainer!

Some of these changes in require a very recent rpm and are not backward compatible (and not compatible to EL5, for example). Also there are some specific macros, scriptlets, and requirements for Fedora that may not be relevant for upstream spec files. In general, upstream spec file have more stringent requirements on compatibility among rpm based platforms and less requirements of integration.
Hi,
I would like to take ownership of the enlightenment package. But I am not a packager yet, still waiting for a sponsor. Please see my review request for pyxfce ...
In Bugzilla, there seems not to be any review request entry from the past about the enlightenment package that has stopped to be maintained since Fedora 14 and upwards. Does anybody know more?
I've done some testing with ArchLinux and their official e17-svn package. The desktop looks really awesome and I see an opportunity to have an E17 spin of Fedora in the far future, maybe.
Greetings, Raphael
